Steps for Freda is a memorial race put on by Freda's Light, a nonprofit dedicated to cerebral palsy awareness. It honors the life of Freda Veronica Riley, and the crowd reflects that purpose: families, healthcare workers, and advocates tend to show up alongside runners, giving the morning a tone that is more gathering than race.
